El libro “Para Comprender la Teología de la Liberación” empieza con una poesía deísta de León Felipe, que no es por León Felipe que la nombro ni es por él que la califico como “deísta”, sino porque Tamayo la usó de acápite, intencionalmente, y le vino como anillo al dedo para poder glorificar lo que se proponía. ¿Qué se proponía? Lo mismo de lo que se queja hoy Clodovis Boff,

En cuanto me vaya siendo posible, iré presentando e intercalando respuestas a un libro publicado en 1988, de Juan José Tamayo Acosta, llamado "Para Comprender la Teología de la Liberación". Por lo visto, en su ámbito y en sus intereses, creyó necesario que podía aportar comprensión a lo que parece aún hoy incomprensible. Lo leí con aprecio pero no sin un permanente sobresalto causado por

Empirical research in Arthur C. Brooks's "Who Really Cares" shows that pervasive cultural assumptions about the generosity of liberals and the stinginess of conservatives turn out to be almost completely wrong.

For many Bolivians, Christmas is a harvest festival, celebrated with expressions of gratitude to Mother Earth. For those who celebrate as Christians, Baby Jesus gets the attention, not Santa. Chileans’ gifts are brought by Viejo Pascuero, and citizens attend la misa del gallo (mass of the rooster). The service owes its name to the idea that the rooster would’ve been among those that witnessed the birth of Christ. In Ecuador, some mountain dwellers dress in their finest garb and their llamas do the same, parading down from the hills. Some Venezuelan children tie a string around their big toe and hang it out their window at night. People on their way to la misa de aguinaldo (traditionally traveling by roller-skate) give a yank to any strings they pass. For Brazilians, Papa Noel is the gift-bearer. He lives in Greenland and wears silk clothing to combat the summer heat. And, of course, in the United States, Santa Clause resides at the North Pole, and works with elves to produ

A couple of days ago I posted, Have You Been to Jail for Justice? regarding the protest at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), formerly known as the School of the Americas (SOA). In response to that posting, the public affairs officer, Lee A. Rials, responded in the comments section. I thought it important to give him an opportunity to respond and for the rest of us to ask some questions, if he is willing. As this discussion raises emotions I request that we be cool. We don't want to bear false witness. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't ask hard questions. We should seek the facts. This is Mr. Rials' response:For all you good Presbyterians who are willing to bear false witness against your fellow man--do a little serious research and put a little bit of truth in this discussion. SOAWatch is a fraud on all you who seek peace and justice, because its basic premise is false. There is not one example, from SOAW or anywhere else, of anyone

On Sunday, the United States international basketball team defeated Argentina to win the FIBA Americas basketball tournament, and earned themselves a place in the Olympic games.Top scorer was NBA Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James, who rakced up a huge 31 points towards the 118-81 victory. 31 is the highest amount of points scored by any Americas athlete in an Olympic qualifier. Carmelo Anthony, who made 16 points, said “I’m tired of bronze, I’m speechless right now. This is my first time ever winning the gold medal.” Dwight Howard scored an additional 20 points towards the three-figure total. It’ll be interesting to see if the US can pull this off in the Olympics as well. Who’s your favourite for the basketball at the Olympics?

We had such a great time visiting all the shows and events in Las Vegas on August 28th. First we stopped at the Venetian to see what was going on at the Lingerie Americas show. All the glamorous companies such as Aubade Lingerie Felina and many other famous brands were exhibiting their merchandise. We spent quite some time at the Shirley of Hollywood booth to place our Christmas lingerie order. It was so much fun to actually see, touch and feel all the new merchandise. Lots of times the real thing looks so much better, than the pictures in the catalog, of course sometimes it's the opposite. The show was great but by no means could it be compared to the International Lingerie Show held at the Rio Hotel twice a year. After lunch we went on to a much more exciting show, the Storerotica, at the Mandelay Bay Resort. The atmosphere was sizzling hot. Lingerie models everywhere introducing merchandise from vendors, such as exotic dance wear from Roma, Sexy in Miami and others. Leather

Entrevista con el Canciller de la República Dominicana Carlos Morales Troncoso El establecimiento de convenios de desarrollo sin previas condiciones que desmejoren la producción de los países participantes es la características primordial de Petrocaribe, aunado al gran potencial de integración que imprime en Latinoamérica.Así se expresó el secretario de Relaciones Exteriores de República Dominicana, Carlos Morales Troncoso, quien conversó con PANORAMA durante la Cumbre de Petrocaribe, realizada en Caracas, y poco antes de partir a México para cumplir otros compromisos. Sentenció que “los pobres serán los grandes beneficiarios de Petrocaribe”.El canciller, quien actualmente es miembro del Consejo de Ministros del Sistema de Integración de Centro América, tampoco dudó en enfatizar sobre la necesidad de establecer novedosos mecanismos económicos entre las naciones latinoamericanas.— ¿Cómo evalúa la propuesta que Venezuela hizo en esta cumbre sobre el Tratado de

If you arrive in Puerto Rico and find that the weather is not cooperating there are still plenty of things to do. One of my top suggestions is to take a trip to Plaza Las Americas (especially if you need to keep children occupied - there is a 32 lane Bowling Alley and a large fast food court): Plaza Las Americas is the largest shopping mall in the Caribbean and one of the largest in southeastern United States. It is located in Hato Rey, approximately 10-15mins from San Juan. The logo represents the three ships (the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria) sailed by Christopher Columbus’s during his 1942 voyage (more…)

Not where to go to get a haircut, mind you, I mean about there being two  Americas. There is the vibrant America . . . and the stagnant one. There is the America of ever-increasing wealth, innovation, creativity, of a dynamic economy, new jobs, new products and services. Choices galore. And there is the politician’s America: The regulated America, the subsidized America, the earmarked America. The failing America. In one America it is what you produce that gets you ahead. In the other it’s who you know. In one America, to earmark some money means setting aside funds (into savings) for a purchase — a car, house, college. In the other America, to earmark is to grab from taxpayers to give to cronies. It is the highest rite of career politicians: buying their votes

Confronted by Hugo Chávez’s determination to take control of Venezuela’s heavy oil upgraders, the international oil companies were between a rock and a hard place.They could either accept participation on the new terms, in which they would be junior partners to PdVSA, Venezuela’s state oil company, and expected to write cheques for new investment over which they would not have full control – or walk away from assets worth billions of dollars.Faced with that decision on Tuesday, Chevron of the US, Total of France, BP of the UK and Statoil of Norway chose to bite their lips and stick around.ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil of the US have walked away.For Exxon, the calculation, while painful, was straightforward. It has built a reputation for being a company that regards contracts as sacrosanct and expects its partners to do the same.With delicate negotiations over its Sakhalin-1 project in Russia under way, it would have been madness to throw that reputation away.If it could not do

In the next two days, Congress will vote on an amendment to close the notorious School of the Americas/WHINSEC. The School of the Americas, funded by our tax dollars and located at Ft. Benning Georgia, has trained -for more than 60 years- over 60,000 Latin American Soldiers in torture, psychological warfare and war against civilian populations. Many of the tactics of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay began at the SOA to be used on civilians and those working for justice in Latin America. This school has graduated the worst human rights abusers in Latin American History. Rep. McGovern (MA) and Rep. John Lewis (GA) will introduce an amendment to the Foreign Operations appropriations bill to cut funding for the SOA/ WHINSEC and stand up against the legacy of torture as a part of US Foreign Policy!Last year, in a similar vote, ANSWER activists made a decisive difference in challenging the school.
